The NHL had a similar rule change to OT (it has used a 3-round shootout since 2005), and also made a minor change to face-off procedure, where the defending zone player is required to put his stick down first, instead of the visiting player, and instituted a limited coach’s challenge system.

Indiana Ice

As we noted earlier, there are 2 former Ice players listed as prospects by the NHL Central Scouting Service for this weekend’s NHL Draft: Chris Martenet and Troy Terry. Martenet played the full 2013-14 season with the Ice, while Terry was an affiliate player who briefly appeared with the team.
